(Minghui.org) I suddenly started hiccuping, caused by diaphragm spasms, on the evening of December 27, 2022. At first, I didn’t pay any attention to it, thinking that it would soon go away. However, the hiccuping became worse after several hours. Then I vomited and had difficulty breathing. My wife, who is also a Falun Dafa practitioner, told me to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and to send righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil interference, but by then, I couldn’t even sit up.

The next day, at dawn, I started hiccuping terribly again. I couldn’t eat or drink anything. This continued for about ten days, during which time I lost over 5 kilograms (about 11 pounds).

Seeing me curled up on the bed, my wife called our son, who is also a practitioner, and told him about my situation. He came over and took my temperature, which was over 40°C (about 105°F). I immediately denied that this was real and said, “This is fake, I don’t feel anything at all.” Two minutes later, my son took my temperature and it was down to 38°C (100.4°F). It was back to normal when he took it the third time. I knew Master Li was encouraging me to pass the test while purifying my body at the same time.

Although my temperature was back to normal, the hiccups continued. I sat up and lay down, tossing and turning. I was in a lot of pain.

My wife put the medicine our daughter-in-law brought over next to my bed. I knew what she wanted me to do. I was struggling to decide whether or not to take it. My son said, “You decide if you want to take the medicine or not.” That was when Master’s words came to my mind:

“If your mind is unsteady, that means you are not meeting the standard to begin with, and prolonging the process won’t lead to any changes. And if someone holds out for the purpose of saving face, that is adding attachments on top of attachments. In such cases there are only two choices: You either go to the hospital and thus give up on trying to overcome the test, or you completely let go of everything, behave like an upstanding and noble Dafa disciple who has no resentment or attachments, and leave it to Master to arrange whether you stay or go. When you are able to do that, you are a god.” (Teachings at the Conference in Los Angeles)

I was determined. I said to my wife, “I believe in Master, and I leave everything to Master to arrange. Please take the medicine away. I won’t take it.”

During that time, I couldn’t eat anything and just drank some canned peach juice. But even so, soon after, I would throw up and then spit out some green and yellow mucous. My face was pale and my lips were grey. My relatives came to visit me and said they were very worried about me, but I wasn’t afraid. I firmly believed that Master was watching over me, and I did not fear anything.

On the morning of the fifteenth day, I suddenly felt hungry and wanted to eat some solid food. After that, I got better little by little, the hiccups stopped, and my energy gradually returned to normal.

Beginning the day I was able to eat, every night when I was about to go to bed, I saw golden characters spelling out “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” floating into my head from the air. My spirit was lifted and I quickly fell asleep. This went on for a week.

Within a week, I’d fully recovered, and my weight returned to normal soon after. When my relatives and other practitioners came to see me, they were amazed at my appearance, saying that my face was glowing and looked transparent. I recovered thanks to Dafa and Master’s great compassion and mercy. Master Li eliminated my karma, and my body and xinxing were improved.

I knelt before Master’s portrait and pressed my palms together in front of my chest as tears streamed down my face. I said aloud, “Thank you, Master, for eliminating that big karma for me. Master has endured a lot for me. Thank you, Master, for giving me a second life. Thank you, Master, for saving me. I will firmly cultivate Falun Dafa and return to my real home with you.

Now, my wife and I study the Fa and do the exercises together every day. I keep thinking about and doing the things that save sentient beings and validate Dafa. I hope that more people can be saved.
